Heart of Darkness

In February I was at the Usher Hall in Edinburgh, armed with a photo pass for the African Soul Rebels concert.

 

During one of the intervals between acts, I wandered around the recently completed extension to the building...and seldom has my flabber been quite so gasted...as when I stumbled across this magnificent staircase.

 

I took some photos that night...but was keen to see how it looked in daylight. Yesterday I returned to shoot some more shots.

 

My thanks are due to Emma Patterson and Victoria Fuller from the Usher Hall, for giving me permission to photograph.

 

On a technical note...I've processed the same RAW file three times here...to cope with daylight/artificial colour temperatures and the exposure of the light fixture...then combined with layer masking. :-)
